Chapter 51 The Greedy Father-in-Law
On the way back, Lucia’s expression was unusually cold. To her, the fact that such a traitor who betrayed the family had emerged within the Green family was already infuriating.What made it worse was that Waldemar had dared to set a trap for her in front of so many outsiders.If she had fallen for the scam today and Waldemar had escaped, discovering the deception later would have not only shamed her but also tarnished the entire Green family’s reputation!Alan had been present to expose the trick in time, preventing losses for both her and the family.She took out a bank card from the car’s compartment and handed it to Alan."Mr. Alan, there are $500,000 in this card. The password is six eights. This is a small token of my gratitude—please accept it."As she spoke, she couldn’t help but wonder: Alan clearly possessed real expertise. Why had he chosen to marry into a minor family as a live-in son-in-law?If he had started his own antique appraisal business, he could have accumulated s
Chapter 50 Seeing Through the Scam
Mr. Waldemar sneered and said, "I’d also like to see how you con artists usually deceive people."Alan shrugged and replied, "I didn’t really want to expose your scam, but since you insist, I can’t refuse.""A scam? Boy, are you saying we all misjudged?" Wilder, who had been calm and ethereal-looking, suddenly scoffed.Alan glanced at him and said coldly, "You’re the biggest fool here...""You brat, you’re courting death!" Wilder instantly erupted in anger.Ignoring him, Alan continued, "The jade is real." He paused and added, "But it’s not Zhou Dynasty bloodline jade, and no enlightened monk ever kept it close to nurture it. It’s just a top-grade Hetian yellow jade. Good texture, some value, but its market price is at most $100,000.""Bullshit! Can’t you see it’s red?" Waldemar interjected with a curse.Alan went on, "The red color comes from manganese ore containing manganous permanganate eroding the stone. "What about that warm atmosphere we felt?" Burt frowned and asked eagerly.
Chapter 49 Treasure Appraisal
Alan feigned surprise and asked, "Is that so?""Isn't the Green family the most prominent family in Pras City?"Lucia smiled and said, "That's just on the surface. To say nothing of other things,take the new chairman of the Delaney Group. The Delaney Group alone is equivalent in strength to our entire Green family. The real power of this person is truly unfathomable."As she spoke, Lucia sighed again, "I actually want to make acquaintance with this big shot, but unfortunately, he's too mysterious, and there's no way to find an opening."Lucia was speaking from the heart. She genuinely believed the new chairman of the Delaney Group was profoundly enigmatic.Being able to casually buy a $20-billion-dollar group without showing his face indicated that his business empire was far more complex than just the Delaney Group. In comparison, the Green family paled in significance.However, she had no idea that the chairman of the Delaney Group she had been eager to befriend was sitting right b
Chapter 48 Ancient Jade
Rosalie hurriedly said to Norris again, "Husband, I was wrong!"For the sake of our years of relationship, please forgive me!"Alan asked Norris, "What do you think?"Norris glanced at Rosalie, pushed her aside, and said, "I don't know this woman."Rosalie instantly collapsed into tears!Alan said, "In that case, break her legs and disfigure her so she can't seduce men anymore!"Alan felt no sympathy for a venomous woman like Rosalie.Damon immediately followed his orders, crippling Rosalie's legs, mutilating her face, and even cutting off her hair with medical scissors!By now, all five had paid a price.Alan had the five dragged to their feet and said coldly, "Today, I'll spare your miserable lives.But if any of you dare (reveal) a word about what happened here, I'll kill you. Understand?"All five nodded frantically.Surviving at all was a miracle; none dared defy Alan.Satisfied that they were thoroughly subdued, Alan nodded.He said to Sanderson, Rosalie's father, "You cheated m
Chapter 47 Becoming Disabled
At the sight of the two men, Henry and Rosalie nearly fainted on the spot!Lying on the floor were Henry's father, Jarrod, and Rosalie's father, Sanderson!Alan ordered someone to splash cold water on Jarrod and Sanderson's faces, jolting them awake.He then demanded of Sanderson, "Do you know your daughter is promiscuous and casually cheats on her fiancé?"Sanderson was terrified. He'd already been beaten severely before arriving and knew his daughter had messed with the wrong person.To save himself, he shook his head wildly. "I don't know! I don't know..."Alan nodded. "You don't know? Then as a father, you failed to observe and discipline her!""Damon, smash his left kneecap—just like that dead dog earlier!""Got it!" Damon immediately ordered his men, "Hold him down!"Sanderson screamed in terror. "No! Help!"Rosalie also shrieked, "Dad!"Without hesitation, Damon waited for his men to pin Sanderson's leg and swung the steel rod down hard.Ahhh... Sanderson felt a pain so intense
Chapter 46 Punishment
Alan then sent a text message to Claude at the Ritz-Carlton: "What's the background of Henry from Pras City?"Claude quickly replied: "His family is in business, mainly jade, pawnshops, and auctions. Their influence is mediocre. Has he offended you?""Yes," Alan messaged back. "I've already called Mogos over.""Also, I need you to do something for me."Claude immediately responded: "Yes, Young Master! Please tell me!"Alan said: "I want you to bring Henry's father to People's Hospital.""And an old man in Pras City who does antique appraisals—Sanderson. Bring him here too."Claude replied instantly: "Yes, Young Master! I'll personally escort them to you!"Alan said: "You don't need to show up. Just send someone. I don't want others to know we're acquainted.""Yes, Young Master! Should I have someone teach those two old fools a lesson?"Alan replied: "Capture them, beat them first, then tie them up and send them over.""Yes, Young Master! Everything will be done as you command. I'll gi
Chapter 45 The Tragic Norris
Norris said angrily, "Rosalie, that painting was given to me by my brother. What right do you have to take it?""Given to you?" Rosalie sneered. "Get this straight, you son of a bitch—why did Alan give you that painting?""It was a congratulatory gift for the restaurant's opening!""And whose restaurant is it? It's my father's!"Norris hadn't expected Rosalie to be so shameless, and his voice trembled with rage.Rosalie, you're so shameless!I also invested $50,000 in the restaurant, and you must return that $50,000 to me."As for the painting, it was given to me by my best brother."Rosalie snapped, "Cut the crap. The restaurant has nothing to do with you. I won't give you a single cent.""That painting belongs to the restaurant. If you don't hand it over, I'll call the police right now.""I'll say you stole it from my family's restaurant!"Henry, standing beside her, also sneered, "Kid, I suggest you wise up.""My connections in Pras City are something you can't afford to mess with.
Chapter 44 Caught in Adultery and Beaten
Alan nodded, accepted the business card, and said calmly, "I'm Alan, but I don't have a business card.""No problem," Lucia said. "May I ask if it's convenient for you to leave your phone number, Mr. Alan?"Alan thought it was never a bad thing to meet more people, and Lucia seemed polite and humble—not the overbearing type.She was easy on the eyes. So he exchanged phone numbers with her.Only then did Lucia say, "Mr. Alan, would you like me to send a car to take you both back?"Alan waved his hand. "No need. I drove here."Lucia nodded. "Then let me walk you out!"She accompanied them to the BMW 530 and watched Alan drive away before slowly returning to Ancient Beauty Antique Shop.On the way back, the father-in-law couldn't help asking, "Alan, who taught you how to restore antiques?"Alan naturally couldn't say he'd found a magical The True Yuan Bible in the vase his father-in-law had broken.The book was too extraordinary, and he needed time to digest its contents. Besides, such a
Chapter 43 Restoring Antiques
Alan thought to himself, How dare you say such a thing?Before he could refuse, the middle-aged man spoke first: "We at Ancient Beauty Antique Shop value integrity above all.Since you broke the vase, you must compensate us!"Then, turning to Alan, he said, "You can leave, but you’d better help him raise the money. Otherwise, after this afternoon, I’ll send him to the police station!"Alan nodded slightly.Terrified, Gilmore wept, "Good son-in-law, don’t leave! What will happen to me if you leave?!"Alan found it laughable to see him so scared, but of course, he didn’t show it.He was just about to use raising money as an excuse to leave and let his father-in-law suffer a bit.But then he suddenly remembered the ancient method for repairing porcelain antiques mentioned in the The True Yuan Bible.So he had an idea and said, "Manager Edward, if I can restore that Yuhuchun vase, will you let my father-in-law go?"Edward sneered, "Who do you think you are, trying to restore antiques?To
